About Jennifer

Jennifer McCann is an LCSW who brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work in Maine, with a focus that includes ADHD alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, and more.

Background and approach

She uses a strengths-based, client-centered stance that honors each person’s capacity for change while incorporating practical strategies when helpful. Her background includes working with diverse communication needs and she offers services in American Sign Language as well as English.

Her style blends empathy and problem-solving: mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques help with symptom management, while solution-focused and trauma-informed methods guide recovery from difficult events and transitions. Jennifer emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress, creating an environment where honest emotions and everyday humor can coexist.

Prospective clients are invited to collaborate on a personalized plan that aligns with their goals and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful space where the client’s goals and strengths guide the work; this approach supports people who want to explore values, build self-understanding, and make changes at their own pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and everyday stressors. When relevant, mindfulness techniques are integrated to increase present-moment awareness and support emotion regulation during transitions or after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences, adapting strategies as progress is made and goals evolve. This shared planning helps ensure therapy stays focused and relevant to the client’s life.

Online care offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access therapy in ways that suit their schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other obligations, and they allow licensed professionals to tailor interactions to each client’s preferred format.
